Good article and yes , fullback has been a missing piece for years now in this hodge podge of nothingness offense. I’ve always thought this team was foolish to not employ and actually use the fullback as a lead blocker and occasional pass catcher and short yardage runner,
Also, wouldn’t make too much of Arthur’s offense in Atlanta not being as productive as in Tennessee. Remember, it’s a whole lot different being HC with all those responsibilities vs being the OC when it’s just the offense that your responsible for.
I think Arthur will be just fine and the WR Coach Azzarri I like too.
With Arthur I think he knows how to utilize all his players, something we haven’t seen around here. look for guys like Cal Austin, Connor Heyward, the TE Washington to see their share of action.
Matt Canada seriously men, was way in over his head in the NFL. For me, I simply cannot believe he was allowed to stay in that position that long.
